Like many of you, I'm interested in a girl. I've been pretty charming to her thus far, if I do say so myself and she is responding very well to it. She does have a boyfriend who I'm not to worried about since she seems to only complain about him and I get the impression she's looking to trade up. Which is where I'm hoping to come in.

Now, I saw this girl on Friday of last week and I absolutely would have had her there if we hadn't been interrupted. I'll spare you the details, the point is we didn't do anything that night. I sent her a text asking if she still wanted to meet up, which I have realized since then was a mistake. I should have just told her where I was going and let her follow me. Now, what's interesting to me about this is she responds with "I shouldn't..." followed by a second text with an excuse and her hasty exit.

Now, I've been talking to this girl steering the conversation in more playful directions and gradually easing into more risque conversation. The interesting thing is I can tell when she starts thinking about her boyfriend because she always responds with "I shouldn't..." if I ask her to do something that she feels infringes on her current relationship. Last time I was going to sketch and asked her for a pic. She sent me one before but was reluctant this time. Which gives me hope that I've raised my status in her eyes since I didn't even specify what kind of pic she could send and didn't imply the sort of pic I wanted.

My question to you is how do I handle this "I shouldn't" response? The first time I didn't get a chance to respond and most recently didn't end up with the results I wanted. Just more flirtatious banter. I don't know...maybe I'm just misreading it all together. I would lvoe a second opinion, though.

All girls complain about their boyfriends, I know you don't want to hear this but you seem like your in the friend zone, she's unloading her complaints about him to you and is hesitant to meet up with you alone because of her boyfriend. My advice is to game other girls and withdraw from this chick right now, make her chase you and start hitting you up. Once you got her desperate for your attention, get her 1 on 1 and escalate from there. If she denies seeing you by herself, MOVE ON.

Damn. I was afraid of that. I really should be able to see the friend zone coming. I've spent enough time there as is. Alright, I'll take your advice and move on to other girls. Thanks for the input.
